Technorati is becoming one of the biggest players in blogging. Its a great tool for ranking one site against anther and its also a search engine of content. Before I make a post I do a quick search on Technorati and see who else has written about it. After I make a post I search Technorati for other blogs that might benefit from my content and posts comments on there blogs.
Technorati has a neat feature where you can add blogs to your favorite list, it generates a single RSS feed of all the posts and its great for building good back links. Some people got it in there mind that they could make a viral cross linking scheme to build your fave count in Technorati.

Stephen,
Thanks for the link, but please refer to my site as “Without Really Trying”. Trying to corner the keywords and I have my work cut out for me!
Another thought just occurred to me. If you cut and paste.. you don’t get the links!! What are the noobs going to do? I had to click “View Source”.
This is where that rich text mode comes in handy on the new post window… it would copy the links too…
It had to be an options somewhere, i just can’t seem to find it.
I updated the link.
I spell my name like this Steven not Stephen
Re: Spelling…
I KNOW that, I’ve just got some brain disorder that doesn’t allow me to correctly type it. I type “Steven” and it comes out the other way. If you’d like, you can spell my name “Jordon” until I get it right!
